Nixon/Trudeau (3 paragraphs)

[August1991]

Trudeau was elected in June 1968. Nixon in November1968.

They both understood Communism - the power of the State.

Did they meet after 1974? 

[NAME REMOVED]

Probably not. Nixon hated Trudeau. 

 

He used to refer to him, as "that a##hole Trudeau."

Quoted in the tapes.

Trudeau Snr wrote in his supposed autobiography: "I have been described worse by better men."

[August1991]

Nixon was tall, over 6 foot. Trudeau Snr was short about 5' 8.

I'm sure they talked about China in their first meeting.

[August1991]

Nixon left office, as they say, in 1974 and died in 1994.

Pierre Trudeau left office in 1984 and died in 2000.

Here's my question: Between 1984 and 1994, did these two guys meet?

 

[August1991]

Trudeau Snr was born in 1919. Nixon in 1913.

I know that Nixon traveled from Montreal to Quebec City by train in 1991. (Both were out of office.)

Surely they met.

If you know, spill.

=====

According to the BBC, after Agnew plead nolo-contendere (no contest - Americans now have an Alford plea, don't ask) in October 1973, Agnew and Nixon never met.

[August1991]

Nixon was older and taller.

Pearson? Even if he had fought in the Great War.

====

Trudeau Snr did it correct.

 

[August1991]

In 1984, Trudeau Snr was about 65 years old when he left office.

In 1974, Nixon was about 61 when he, uh, left office.

=====

These two men were born in the 1910s. They lived through similar world events.

You always post the weirdest things?

Where and why would they possibly meet and why would they even want to?
I don't think Nixon being so recently disgraced would even be invited to any state or major functions they might even run into each other at,

Michael the article you posted is dated 1969.
I understood Augie was asking about the period after Nixon resigned and while PET was still in office.

Nixon liked to travel, and talk to foreign leaders - even retired ones. I know that Nixon was in Montreal in the early 1990s.

Trudeau Snr bought a wonderful place in Montreal; he invited different people to eat with him.

After leaving office, did Nixon and Trudeau Snr ever meet?

[herbie]

That's what I asked. Did they? I doubt it, they didn't like each other.
